Which is what I suggest we set up in the PLUG web site: a list of "high-profile" successful FOSS adoption stories (posters to this thread have already named a few). It doesn't have to be exhaustive, maybe only those that have publicly disclosed that they're using FOSS (to get around Paolo's reservation, re NDAs and such). And it definitely has to be filtered, yes. Good start, Dom, on the primer. -- Ian Dexter R.
